4 2 TEN YEAR RETROSPECTIVE

5 The TerrAfrica Leveraging Fund (TLF) provides a flexible financing mechanism to support activities that have the potential for scaling up sustainable land and water management (SLWM) in SSA countries. Over the last decade, the TLF has supported several countries in SSA (26), in leveraging and designing innovative interventions in SLWM. Since the TLF (TF070380) was established, the total contribution amount pledged stands at US$24.1 million 3, where the European Union has contributed the highest at US$ 13.3 million followed by the Netherlands at US$ 6.0 million and Norway at US$4.7 million (Annex 1). The actual paid contribution stands at US$23.1 million, of which US$18.28 million is committed for various critical activities. The TLF has provided support to strategic key products from TerrAfrica activity line 1 (AL1: Regional coalition building) and 2 (AL2: Regional knowledge management), as well as targeted catalytic and seed funding for country activities 3 Per current conversion rates under activity line 3 (AL3: Country investment) which is where most of the support is directed. TLF has supported the strategic positioning of TerrAfrica as a key program and partnership within the wider growth agenda in SSA. TerrAfrica s approach offered key contributions to the resilient landscapes and desertification agendas (See highlights from Activity Line 1). TLF has continued its outreach activities through innovative knowledge management and communication means such as social media, interactive exhibitions, and radio to capture knowledge and provide training through learning events on SLWM issues, study tours, south south learnings, and regional workshops (See highlights from Activity Line 2). The TLF portfolio has diversified the SLWM investment portfolio through the development of SLM Country Strategic Investment Frameworks (CSIF), while continuing to provide catalytic financing for a leveraging impact at the countrylevel for larger investments in SLWM (See highlights from Activity Line 3). Since its inception, the TLF support has evolved in line with the vision of the overall TerrAfrica program 4 - from a sole focus on land degradation in agricultural lands to sustainable land and water management though ILM on a broader scale and, now to encompass resilient landscape management - allowing an ecosystems-based approach to addressing land degradation and resilience to climate change. This ten year journey, in support of coalition building, knowledge management and leveraging investments towards its broader goal of integrated landscapes management, is providing a strong impetus for a continued and sustained momentum. This report captures key selected results and achievements over the years to mark the ten year milestone. 4 The TerrAfrica program ( is an Africa-led and Africa-based partnership that is addressing land degradation in SSA by scaling up harmonized support for effective and efficient country-driven sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices that improve land productivity, climate resilience, and economic growth 3

6 4 CONTEXT ACTIVITY LINE 1 COALITION BUILDING Africa s major regional and environmental frameworks include SLM actions TerrAfrica s partnership platform has strong participation Financing for SLM is expanding ACTIVITY LINE 2 ACTIVITY LINE 3 KNOWLEDGE SUPPORT COUNTRY INVESTMENTS SLM Knowledge generated and disseminated among all stakeholders Common M&E tools are used by stakeholders to track progress towards SLM upscaling Countries upscale SLM in priority zones, Countries improve policies, institutions, and financing for SLM, SLM actions are mainstreamed in government and donor programs, Climate risk is incorporated into decision making on SLM, and Knowledge is generated and disseminated in countries on SLM.

7 The TerrAfrica Leveraging Fund (TLF), as seed money, provides support to implement the priorities established by the TerrAfrica Executive Committee (TAEC) and the Strategic Business Planning Framework under the framework of its Joint Annual Work Program. It has been at the forefront of assisting SSA countries to reverse land degradation by adopting policies and programs that promote SLWM practices under a landscape approach. The TLF helps to scale-up SLWM, it fills gaps, and includes the provision of resources to support integrated approaches for leveraging wider SLWM benefits. The TLF supports targeted activities typically between US$10,000 and US$350,000 that are not already adequately covered by existing funding mechanisms. The TLF provides support to strategic key products from the three mutually reinforcing TerrAfrica activity lines. Activity Lines 1 and 2 focus on activities at global, regional and sub-regional levels, such as the development of mechanisms that allow partners to work together, mobilize funding, structure advocacy and policy dialogue, develop and implement M&E, and crossfertilize knowledge. Activity Line 3 focuses on country level investment, analytics, and alliances. The country level is where the vast majority of resources are applied. The TerrAfrica Secretariat, the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA) is supported by TLF, through which it is contributing to the overall objectives of NPCA s TerrAfrica program, and it s Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) reinforcing performance of existing and future projects across sectors and countries to tackle land degradation, climate change and natural resource overreach. Additionally, it is also strengthening the capacity at NPCA to maintain and strengthen the regional coalition on SLWM, enhance communication and promote knowledge management as well as provide technical support to African countries in the preparation of their investments frameworks on SLWM to support development of larger investments. 5

10 8 ACTIVITY LINE 1: COALITION BUILDING STRATEGIC POSITIONING Through targeted TLF support, the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA) and the World Bank Group (WBG) have been able to position TerrAfrica as a contributor to key development initiatives and strategies as part of the work on climate smart agriculture as well as on the more recent landscapes and drylands agenda. TLF over the decade has hosted the annual TerrAfrica Executive Committee Meetings to oversee the TerrAfrica program and contributed to several events including: UN convention COP meetings, meetings on Agriculture and Climate Change in Durban (2011), regional dialogues on climate smart agriculture, agroforestry, and the private sector, meeting on Private Investment in Trees and Landscape Restoration in Nairobi (May 2011). Notably, the TerrAfrica booth at the 9th session of the Committee for the Review of the Implementation of the Convention (CRIC9) of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification UNCCD in Bonn, and a set of 8 side events at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban were well received by all the partners. Others where TerrAfrica has significantly contributed include the International Conference on Building Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security, in Addis Ababa (May 2014), as well as in the Africa Drylands Week in Djamena (August 2014). TerrAfrica featured extensively in the second Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) that took place at the margins of UNFCCC COP20 in Lima (December 2014). The TLF secured a spot in the prestigious G20 publication that was released at the Cannes Summit in November Strong partnerships have been built as reflected through the TerrAfrica and Connect4Climate (C4C) joint collaboration to support youth action in the climate change agenda global

11 competitions to encourage youth to be part of the solution to the effects of global climate change (June 2012) and an event called Right Here, Right Now (June 2013) to highlight the power of creative youth engagement on climate issues particularly on the African Drylands and Adaptation Agenda. In the WBG s President Jim Yong Kim s words: We will never end poverty if we don t tackle climate change. Similarly, the NEPAD Agency and the World Bank Institute (WBI) have partnered on several occasions to promote the SLM agenda. Signaling a renewed focus on boosting economic growth and lifting people out of devastating poverty in Africa s hard-hit Sahel region, the WBG pledged US$1.5 billion in new regional investments through the UN-WB Sahel Initiative. The announcement was made on the eve of an historic trip to the Sahel by development leaders, led by World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, to discuss peace, security, and resilience with the leaders of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Chad an activity partially supported by TerrAfrica. In recognition of the critical need for a call to action, the WBG together with the Governments of Mauritania and Senegal organized, with the support of TerrAfrica, two High Level Fora: on Pastoralism in Nouakchott, and on Irrigation in Dakar. These have influenced the development of larger investments in the SSA. The World Bank through TLF support teamed up with a large coalition of partners for a regional flagship study which has resulted in the report entitled Confronting Drought in Africa s Drylands: 9

12 10 Opportunities for Enhancing Resilience. This report to be launched in October 2015, is designed to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about measures to reduce the vulnerability and enhance the resilience of populations living in drylands. The partnership with UNCCD has further allowed opportunities for contributions to several high level and strategic meetings on the drylands agenda - Africa Environment and Wangari Mathai Day (March, 2014), the World Day to Combat Desertification (June, 2014), Desertif Actions conference in Montpellier (June 2015), Desertification Day Celebration in Milan ( June, 2015) and for some upcoming events such as the UNCCD COP 21 in Turkey (October, 2015) and the 2015 Climate Change COP in Paris (December). In support of the Great Green Wall Initiative (GGWI), the WBG through the TerrAfrica Platform is deepening its engagement to Africa s drylands through supporting countries find effective solutions to improving resilience, reducing poverty, achieving security, and ensuring environmental sustainability. With support from TLF, the WBG has partnered with 12 countries and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to develop the US$1.1 billion Sahel and West Africa Program (SAWAP). The program includes Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria Sudan, Tog, Senegal and a regional project to support knowledge sharing and exchange. The Landscapes for People, Food and Nature (LPFN) in Africa Conference in Nairobi (July 2014), organized by the LPFN Initiative of Eco- Agriculture Partners, the Government of the Netherlands, ICRAF, and UNEP and co-sponsored by TerrAfrica was a key event where nearly 200 highly regarded experts, practitioners and policy makers from across Africa and around the world came together to synthesize lessons learned from research and experience in integrated landscape management to jointly achieve food security, biodiversity and climate objectives. The output of the conference was, The African Landscapes Action Plan (ALAP) which contains 19 actions along the following themes: policy, governance, business, finance, research and capacity development. With the evolving global context, TerrAfrica has made significant headway in supporting the resilient landscapes agenda. Notably, NEPAD has led efforts towards calling for an alliance and coalition (Building an African Alliance for Resilient Landscapes) in support of an African Resilient Landscape Initiative at the GLF 2014 in Lima (Why We re Making a Stand for Resilient Landscapes). This builds upon the ALAP and the Africa Integrated Landscape Management Report which is part of the regional study on Enhancing Resilience in African Drylands. This Initiative envisions a goal to improve soil fertility and food security, improve access to clean water, combat desertification, increase biodiversity and habitat, create green jobs, bolster economic growth and livelihood diversification, and increase the capacity for climate change resilience and adaptation while making a substantial contribution to the mitigation climate change, and supporting multiple SDG targets.

13 ACTIVITY LINE 2: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT Through carefully selected support, the TLF has continued to generate and disseminate knowledge on SLWM and landscapes, among partners and stakeholders through developing knowledge and learning products, SLM best practices and tools for effective investments at country level and carrying out policy advocacy to mobilize resources. TLF has supported a number of trainings and capacity building activities, which has created larger interest in the landscapes agenda amongst the stakeholders and partners. INNOVATIVE OUTREACH AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES South-South Exchange: With the support of TLF, South-South Knowledge Exchange Trust Fund and agencies from the Burundi coffee sector, a South-South knowledge exchange event for a Sustainable coffee landscape was held in 2014 between Colombia, Burundi, Ethiopia and Rwanda. This has enabled an exchange to enhance stakeholders understanding and capacity to implement and sustain shade grown coffee programs in coffee landscapes. Building CSO s capacity: a capacity building workshop for SLWM- Partnership Building in enhancing CSOs Capacity for SLWM in Africa was organized at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies in Nairobi (June 2014) through the 11

14 12 Sustainable Environmental Development Watch (SusWatch)-Kenya, in partnership with UNDP Equator Initiative, United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), TerrAfrica, and Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA). Several other trainings at various national and international meetings have been conducted over the years, including for African journalists in both francophone and anglophone countries on issues and solutions of land degradation. Working with Faith communities: Innovative aspects to SLWM have been developed through work with the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC), which had produced the book: Many Heavens, One Earth in Action: Stories of African Faith Commitments, a manual for Muslim Farmers, a Teachers toolkit and several trainings including Islamic Farming training of trainers workshop. Significantly a regional consultation in Mukono, Uganda, has led to the Mukono Declaration which called for a new alliance to be established to lead a movement of faith-based action. Training resources: The NEPAD Agency and the World Bank Institute (WBI) have partnered to promote the SLM agenda through create training modules on SLM and Climate Smart Agriculture. An interesting cartoon booklet on Building Climate Change Resilience was published from the perspective of south-south knowledge sharing. Eco-Agriculture Partners teamed up with TerrAfrica, NEPAD, NORAD, Hivos Oxfam- Novib to develop and pilot a comprehensive M&E currriculum, which is designed to help project leaders in landscape initiatives throughout Africa build the knowledge and capacities of SLM professionals to conduct appropriate, engaging, and cost-effective monitoring and evaluation of their sustainable land management projects. To support the requirement for Agriculture, Forestry and Land-Use projects to account for GHG emissions and in order to disseminate the information regarding the EXACT tool designed for this purpose, the TLF supported the development and delivering of several e-courses including: (i) ecourse on Carbon Monitoring of CDM A/R Projects that presented tools for monitoring forest carbon stocks, emissions and leakage in CDM afforestation and reforestation projects; (ii) ecourse on Sustainable Agricultural Land Management: Soil Carbon Monitoring to inform on methodologies to monitor soil carbon, the use of the newly approved SALM methodology, and benefits of climate-smart agriculture. A landscape 101 learning course is under preparation.

TLF funds financed the designing of GIS web-based SLM catalogs for three West African countries (Burkina Faso, Niger and Togo). Several publications have meaningfully contributed to the drylands and landscapes agenda (Box 1). P R O M O T I N G K N O W L E D G E M A N A G E M E N T T H R O U G H CREATION OF REGIONAL HUBS AND PLATFORMS TerrAfrica website: The NEPAD in collaboration with the World Bank has recently launched the New TerrAfrica website - org which as a platform exposes TerrAfrica s audiences to various innovative communication Social Media channels (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and approaches available to them, and helps them learn about best practices in looking out for their communities in reference to Land Degradation issues. Regional Hub: SAWAP is reinforced by a six-year regional hub project, the Building Resilience through Innovation, Communication and Knowledge Services (BRICKS) intended to facilitate south-south cooperation on knowledge and operational services among the country projects and with the broader Great Green Wall partnership. It is under implementation by three regional centers of excellence: the Interstate Committee to Combat Drought in the Sahel (CILSS), the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) and the West and Central Africa Office of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Knowledge Platform: The TLF supported the NEPAD team has designed an easy-to-navigate tool to access the TerrAfrica knowledge and a visual space for communities of practices to interact among each other and with experts

17 from within and outside the continent through a TerrAfrica SLM Knowledge Platform. A pilot launch took place in December 2014 in Lima. In addition the TLF is supporting a knowledge and communication package to showcase sustainable land management in Ethiopia, and to share lessons from SLM implementation for up-scaling similar efforts across the region and beyond. MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTS Several promotional videos, broadcasts on TV, radio interviews and other multimedia products have contributed to raising increasing awareness on issues of drylands and resilient landscapes and also the TerrAfrica profile (Box 2). Scan to watch Regreening Ethiopia s Highlands: A New Hope for Africa. This World Bank/TerrAfrica documentary showcases Ethiopia s success in sustainable land and water management. It highlights how a landscape approach was used to manage land, water and forest resources to meet the goals of food security and inclusive green growth. The lessons drawn are relevant for countries fighting land degradation and climate change issues. RECOGNITIONS The increasing visibility of TerrAfrica within and outside the Bank is owing to the TLF contributions which have facilitated a variety of events, knowledge products and catalytic funding for investment projects. The TerrAfrica program has won several awards including the WBG Vice-Presidential Unit Team Award for TerrAfrica Innovative Communication, TerrAfrica in Knowledge Production, the SAWAP program, the Ethiopia Sustainable Land Management Project and the Winter Knowlympics award which highlighted the contribution of TerrAfrica to the resilience agenda.

18 16 ACTIVITY LINE 3: COUNTRY SUPPORT TLF has supported integration of SLWM into national agricultural and environmental frameworks in several SSA countries through the development of SLM Country Strategic Investment Frameworks (CSIF). These frameworks have proved to be an excellent tool to identify hotspots, gaps and priorities for scaling up sustainable land management and outline clear roles for key sectors and stakeholders (Box 3). (Annex 1).The leveraging impact of the TLF over the past decade is clearly illustrated as discrete catalytic financing of the TLF has led to wider SLWM investments 3 supported by other financial resources such as IDA, GEF, LDCF, SCCF, GFDRR and bilateral funding. A few showcase examples herein illustrate the catalytic and strategic nature of TLF support. TLF has supported a diversity of country and regional projects, by providing seed funding for preparatory and knowledge management activities 3 Secure $3 billion for Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) investments [US$ 1.2 billion through the Strategic Investment Framework Program (SIP) and US$ 1.8 billion in support of the Great Green Wall Initiative (GGWI) through the Sahel and West Africa Program (SAWAP)]

19 M a l a w i ( T F ) - I n t e g r a t e d W a t e r s h e d M a n a g e m e n t : The Development of an Integrated Approach to Soil & Water Management in Shire Basin in Malawi has led to the design of a $132 million (IDA, GEF and LDCF) investment with the Shire River Basin Management Project. TLF supported the inclusion of global and regional datasets to the Knowledge base (used to develop Shire Basin Atlas, interactive tools, the Malawi Spatial Data Platform, MASDAP); Modeling to identify critical erosion-prone areas in the Shire Basin (used to identify priority watershed management intervention areas); Water resources planning and management framework (used to shape Shire Basin Institutional functions and scope of TA); Identifying key datasets and contribute to shaping climate scenarios (Climate change knowledge base) and Supporting Hydromet needs. M o z a m b i q u e ( T F ) - S L W M f o r F a r m e r s I n c o m e s : The Mozambique Fostering Community Participation and Local Government Coordination activity supported mainstreaming of SLWM into the US$26.2 million Market led Smallholder Development in the Zambezi Valley project, which aimed to increase the incomes of smallholder farmers and to improve the ecosystem s resilience. TLF support financed the development of a toolkit for District Administrations and Community Leaders on the participatory design and implementation of SLWM subprojects and disseminating tested materials in local languages to support SLWM and climate change awareness and training. As a direct result, the project has been able to cover approximately 16,500 ha with different types of SLM activities, and a total of over 12,000 farmers are adopting different SLM techniques including 225 contact farmers and extension officers trained on conservation agriculture.

The training supported Burundi to develop sustainable coffee certification, which resulted in in high quality beans being supplied through Illy Café. This activity is initiating a Public Private partnership in connection with the Burundi Sustainable Coffee Landscape Project which is financed by a US$4.2 m GEF grant. T o g o ( T F ) - S L W M t o M i t i g a t e R i s k s f r o m F l o o d s : TLF support has leveraged a US$17 million project which integrates benefits from SLWM, biodiversity conservation and adaptation to develop measures for flood risk management. By supporting ecosystem services restoration, SLM activities contribute to reduction and mitigation of the flood magnitude and help consolidate the outcomes of the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) activities. N i g e r i a ( T F ) L a n d R e s t o r a t i o n f r o m G u l l y E r o s i o n : The Landscapes and Livelihoods activity in Nigeria has led to the preparation of a US$650 million investment with the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Project (NEWMAP). TLF supported critical baseline studies and analytical pieces which fed into designing interventions for gully erosion and watershed management investments in selected piloted states, supporting institutions and information services at federal level and analytics on climate change adaptation benefits. Investments designed in the project are a strategic combination of civil engineering, vegetative land management and other watershed protection measures, and community-led adaptive livelihood enhancements.

21 T a n z a n i a ( T F ) - S u s t a i n a b l e L a n d s c a p e Management: The Greater Serengeti Sustainable Landscape Management Information System assisted the Government of Tanzania in designing and deploying a geographic information system (GIS) for sustainable landscape management of the Greater Serengeti. Through collaborations with ESRI/ JGI, TLF enabled improving the quality and availability of data required for analysis. An ArcGIS Online has been created, which is being populated with data and maps ( R w a n d a ( T F ) - S c a l i n g u p T r e e B a s e d Ecosystem Approaches: TLF is currently supporting studies to facilitate adoption of Tree-based Ecosystem Approaches (TBEAs) at scale in Rwanda, through assessing both the factors determining the success of previous treebased ecosystem approaches in Rwanda and the potentials for future expansion of key TBEAs. These activities complement the Rwanda Landscape Approach to Forest Restoration and Conservation (LAFREC) project which aims to demonstrate landscape management for enhanced environmental services and climate resilience in the highly degraded Gishwati-Mukura landscape. M a l i ( T F ) - N a t u r a l R e s o u r c e s Management and Adapative Livelihoods: TLF is providing support for an in depth analysis of the positive impacts of SLWM approaches and adaptive livelihoods activities in Mali. Particularly, in defining SLWM measures that are adapted to the different landscapes in Mali; identifying key adaptive livelihoods diversification activities that could be promoted in vulnerable communes to climate changes in Mali; conducting baseline study in key vulnerable communes to climate change in Mali and; conducting stakeholder consultation workshops. These activities have fed into the US$ 21.4 million Natural Resources Management in a Changing Climate project. 19
